Bella got up quietly from the bushes and then headed towards where Wang Zheng was. However, it was nighttime in the tropical rainforest; even weak moonlight couldn’t penetrate through the thick foliage, leaving the jungle pitch-black. This place hadn't seen human presence for years, resulting in extremely lush vegetation with no discernible paths, making movement very difficult. Bella tried her best to focus and determine her direction, but she still stumbled a few times from tree vines that sprang up on the ground.

"Where are you going" At this moment, a voice suddenly rang out behind Bella, causing every hair on her body to stand straight up!

In the pitch-black rainforest where no one could be seen, such a sudden sound was like that of a ghost. Even someone with the biggest heart would be frightened!

Bella turned around and faintly saw a black silhouette; it was exactly the person who had passed by her just now!

In situations where everyone is an enemy, one must act first for survival; Bella wouldn’t stand here idly. She pulled out the pistol at her waist and was about to pull the trigger!

But she was still a bit too slow—given that the opponent could move so swiftly in the jungle at night, it showed their formidable strength. Before Bella could retaliate, his body had already rushed forward, delivering a punch like thunder on Bella's wrist!

Crack!

The pistol slipped from her hand and flew out, colliding with the tree trunk, leaving a deep indentation in the bark!

Bella ignored the excruciating pain in her right wrist and pulled out a gun with her left hand, but the result was the same. The shadow figure delivered another swift punch, rendering Bella's left hand useless as well. She wasn't sure if she had fractured any bones, but the pain was unbearable and wouldn't subside anytime soon! It made her gasp in pain.

"I know you belong to the Demon King," the shadow sneered coldly. "Don't waste your efforts resisting uselessly; otherwise, your fate will be even more tragic. With dark skies and high winds tonight, it's just me, a man, against you, a woman. Although your strength is commendable, compared to mine, there's still a great distance. If I’m not satisfied with you, do you know what would happen next"

Bella was an intelligent woman and knew well what could happen next, so she didn't attempt any further action. The gap in their power was too vast; any resistance would be futile and only increase unnecessary risks for herself.

"Have the Demon King come over here to trade his life for yours."

The shadow figure was clearly Draganet, who felt elated at this apparent opportunity to eliminate the Demon King.

“If you want a duel with him, then do it honorably. What kind of skill is kidnapping an insignificant woman like me” Bella gritted her teeth despite the intense pain in her wrist and said.

If there was no mistake, she had probably broken some bones; recovery would take time. She didn't expect to become a liability for Wang Zheng. This realization left her feeling dejected.

“A one-on-one duel is undoubtedly good, but if there's an even better way and you don’t use it, wouldn’t that be foolish”

Draganet sneered coldly, baring his white teeth. "Tell the Demon King right now: Draganet gives him ten minutes to arrive here; otherwise, you die."

"Draganet Are you the second-ranked Draganet on the leaderboard" Bella asked in astonishment. Though she was from the Task Guild, she had never seen Draganet’s face. This man was notorious but even more elusive than the Demon King of the East.

"Hehe, it's me of course. Who else did you think it would be" Draganth was quite pleased with Bella's tone of surprise.

"Tell the Dark King quickly to arrive within ten minutes!"

In fact, Draganth had calculated everything. He estimated that the Eastern Dark King should be around four or five kilometers away from here. This place is a rainforest, and with it being night time, even if the Dark King's speed is incredible, he would need at least twenty seconds to cover every hundred meters. By the time he gets here, he will be as exhausted as a dead dog.

Of course, unless the Eastern Dark King doesn't care about the safety of his beautiful companion, otherwise he will definitely rush over with all his might. At that time, it would be easy for me to get rid of the biggest obstacle.

At this moment, Wang Zheng's voice rang in Bella's ears: "I've already rushed over, wait for me!"

"Okay, I'll wait for you." Hearing Wang Zheng's words, Bella felt inexplicably emotional and a strong sense of security welled up inside her.

Ten minutes later, Wang Zheng's figure had already appeared in front of Bella. He was breathing slightly heavily; indeed, the intense sprint just now cost him quite a bit of energy.

However, Wang Zheng's expenditure wasn't as great as Draganth imagined. In fact, after receiving Bella's message, Wang Zheng had already started heading over here. When Draganth set the ten-minute limit, they were only about two kilometers apart. For Wang Zheng's speed, this wasn't anything to speak of.

But still, Wang Zheng slowed down his pace and rested for a few minutes when he was five hundred meters away from them. Upon seeing through his sniper rifle scope that Bella was safe, Wang Zheng felt relieved. The opponent clearly wanted to wait in ambush; how could the great assassin Wang let him succeed

When he saw Wang Zheng approaching, Dragan pulled Bella into his arms and pointed the gun at her temple, sneering coldly, "Sorcerer King, after waiting for you so long, you finally showed up. Do you know who I am"

Wang Zheng glanced at him with a cold expression: "I have no interest in knowing who you are."

"You..." Suddenly, Dragan felt an urge to spit blood; the other party actually had no interest in him Shit, he was the second place on the task guild's ranking chart!

"Then I'll tell you myself! I'm Dragan, ranked second on the overall task guild ranking chart. Eastern Sorcerer King, now do you know who I am"

After being forced to introduce himself, Dragan felt somewhat humiliated; the other party hadn't even asked about his identity, yet he was here wagging his tail like a dog. This was truly unforgivable.

"Second place on the ranking chart" What Wang Zheng said next almost made Dragan fall over: "I've always remembered that second place is some guy named Sunzi Shabi [Son-of-a-Bitch]. How did it become you, Dragan"

“Sunzi Shabi” After repeating what he heard, Dragan finally realized: “You’re playing me!”

Bella was already laughing uncontrollably at this point; even the night couldn’t hide her beautiful and alluring smile.

Dragan, furious, pressed the muzzle of his gun against Bella's head and said, "Your woman is still in my hands! If you know what’s good for you, exchange your life for hers!"rehead, his face turning red as he finally managed to lift the incredibly heavy floor slab by one centimeter!"Move your legs away quickly. I can't hold it anymore." Wang Zheng struggled to say, with a...
